The Prince and the Devil.

Shane

It's been centuries since my father gave me his crown and his responsibilities. I am now in charge of all the packs in this ware-world, along with dealing and negotiating with humans in their world. My parents are now in their 140s and traveling as they should in their old age. My sister on the other hand enjoys the academic world of humans. She is in love with the human world. She is always moving around going to different schools getting jobs outside of the pack, all for the sake of learning from humans. She is fascinated with them. I kept reminding her humans are weak we cannot associate ourselves with them. I don't want them to learn about our world. But she insisted, so she travels around the world living and making new friends everywhere she goes. It's been 20 years since she came home, and my parents are worried that she's never coming home.

"Shane, if you really love me call your sister and bring her home...at least for a visit", said my mother in her annoying ultimatum-demanding voice.

"Yes mother", I muttered while reading through reports of increasing rogue attacks on our packs

"Now Shane", she demanded as she left my office

"Yes Mother", I utter loudly back at her

However, as for some revelation, an email from Ms. Spoiled herself popped up.

[Coming Home this Weekend], read the subject line.

'Ugh great, more shit to worry about', I thought

I open the email and read, "it's the schools Christmas break, and since I live close-by, I'm coming over to see everyone. Amber. PS: I'm bringing my roommate, so please but on your big boy pants and clean up. I don't want her thinking we're a cult. Also, she doesn't know about ware-folks, so tell everyone not to fuck up. Don't tell mom and dad I'm coming; I want to surprise them."

Roll my eyes, 'all that academic degrees and still don't know how to send a proper well-worded email...goddess help us all'

I heard my mom's voice in my head, 'Bambi's here come'.

I smile, it's about time she's coming home. I stood up smooth out my shirt tightly tucked in my trousers. I head out my office and towards the staircase that leads down to the main hall. I heard my parents and my sister chattering. I got the top of the staircase and see my sister in my mom's arms. I smile and call out her nickname, BAMBI...she came running up into my arms just like she always has all those years when she was young. I embrace my baby sister tightly. She smells the same as the day she left home for more adventures in the human countries...except a little hint of another more intoxicating smell 'cucumber? melon?'. I shook it off.

When mom called, I look down at her friend, and my wolf jumped in my head. 'Kai what's going on?' I asked my wolf. 'Mate, mate, mate', he calls yipping in my head. 'No, no, no, no...she's human...it can't be' I scream at him, and he growled at me.

I tried to resist Amber's pull on my hand, but it was too late I was already standing in front of this...I can't move...I can't think.

"Mate" the word came out of my mouth without my control

Why is her smell so intoxicating? It's like someone put a spell on me and I'm drowning in those beautiful dark brown orbs in her eyes. I had no idea what happen, but suddenly I felt an electric pulse traveling from my right hand jerking my brain out of the trance I was in. I looked down and I see her holding my hand and smiling gup at me,

"it's so nice to meet you Shane"...I gasped..."she knows my name?" I asked as Kai is jumping in my head saying, 'take her now...now'

"What? No..."
